The Five Ways That Real Estate Makes Money

#373: How do people make money in real estate?

Many focus on rental income, but this is only one of five ways that properties create wealth.

We explain five surprising ways that real estate builds your balance sheet: cash flow, appreciation (market-based and forced), tax benefits, principal paydown, and instant equity at closing.

If you’ve been thinking about investing in real estate – especially if you might invest long-distance – you’ll love this episode.
